Our journeys through cemeteries locally and not so locally.
A Member of the Associate of Graveyard Rabbits.

Of course, the vast majority of my blog is dedicated to the work that my daughter and I do discovering local cemeteries and photographing them, but I know that there are many, many more out there in the world that I will probably never get to see. Because of this, I would hate for something to be missed or forgotten.

Therefore, I will gladly take submissions from my readers! Please just fill out the form below or if you prefer to, email me here. I will do my best to make sure everyone gets a place here. I do, however, request that all photos that are submitted are yours and yours alone. I can not accept photos that are taken from the other sources without permission. All photos that are submitted, along with any information, will be credited to the source and an email address will be linked for further questions or information. If this is a problem, please, PLEASE, let me know.

Amber

Hi, I'm Amber. I'm a busy mom with a variety of interests including writing, crafting, cemeteries and history. Come with me on my journey.

We visited this in-town cemetery on February 1, 2015 and were struck by the beautiful construction of the surrounding stone wall. It is made of limestone, which is very common in the area. Originally, the cemetery was started by the early Covenanter Church in the 1820s. I believe that this church was a Reformed Presbyterian Church.The cemetery has under 500 interments, some of which are familiar names from the history of Bloomington.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First on our walk, is the grave of Martha Faris Cathcart.Born: February 4, 1811Died: August 22, 1844The inscription on her tombstone reads, "wife of John Cathcart" (1812-1861). He is also buried at Covenanter Cemetery.They had two children:Margaret A. Cathcart (1839-1839) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.Martha Ann Cathcart Craig (1844-1927) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the grave of Abraham L. Curry.Born: February 14, 1866Died: June 27, 1866The inscription on the marker reads, "Aged 4ms & 11ds son of D.S & M.N. Curry". It doesn't appear that his parents were buried at Covenanter Cemetery.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a Civil War Memorial Marker for John H. Curry.Born: July 24, 1845Died: June 22, 1919His obituary was listed in the Bloomington Evening World, June 23, 1919."After an illness of only ten days of toxic poisoning, John H. Curry, 74 years old, one of the best known citizens of the county, a retired farmer, died at 2:30 Sunday morning at his home on South Sluss Avenue.Mr. Curry went to Ohio ten days ago to attend a meeting of the Reformed Presbyterian Church synod as a delegate from the local congregation and had to come home before the meeting was over on account of sickness. At the time he left for the meeting he was in his usual good health. He was an elder in the local church and always took an active part in its work.Born in this county, he had lived here continuously with the exception of about a year spent in Kansas. He is survived by the widow and the following children: William, Zwingle, John, Robert, Miss Una Curry, and Mrs. John C. Craig, this county; Mrs. T. L. Faris, Orange Calif.; Mrs. T.E. McClintock, Quinton, Kansas; also a brother, James, of Winchester, Kans., and a sister, Mrs. Agnes Dill, Eskridge, Kans.The funeral will be held at 2:30 Wednesday at the Reformed Presbyterian Church in charge of the Rev. George R. Steele.Honorary pallbearers: Aaron Gordon, S.S. Smith, S.T. Smith, John S. Curry, J.B, Curry, Samuel Curry.Active pallbearers: J.G.

She is buried in Covenanter Cemetery and is mentioned on the Curry headstone.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here was have the grave of Charley M. Ervin. Born: June 22, 1861Died: July 27, 1861The inscription on the marker reads, " son of J.M. and M.E. Ervin".There is no listing for his parents, but I believe that his mother was Margaret Ervin (1833-1864). She is buried in Covenanter Cemetery.I also believe that he had one sister:Theresa Jane Ervin (1858-1861) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.

Here we have the grave of Margaret Ervin.Born: March 9, 1833Died: July 2, 1864The inscription on her marker reads, "Aged 31y, 3m, 23d wife of J.M.

Ervin (1861-1861) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.Theresa Jane Ervin (1858-1861) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the grave of Theresa Jane Ervin.Born: September 25, 1858Died: September 24, 1861The inscription on her marker reads, "daughter of J.M. & M.E. Ervin".

In believe that she is the daughter of Margaret Ervin (1833-1864), buried in Covenanter Cemetery. And she was the sister of Charley M. Ervin (1861-1861), who his also buried in Covenanter Cemetery.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

McCaughan - (1851-1897) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.Her obituary was printed in the Bloomington Republican Progress, May 13, 1885:"On Sunday
morning the wife of Charles McCaughan, one of the oldest residents of Monroe
County, died at her home in the country. She was 67 years of age.

Mrs. Nancy Mccaughan died at her home near
Bloomington, Indiana, May 10th, 1885, in the 68th year of her age. She was born
in Beechwoods congregation, Preble county, Ohio, and made an early profession
of her faith in Christ. In the year 1838, her father removed to the
congregation of Bloomington, under the pastoral care of the late Rev. James
Faris. In the year 1841, she was married to Charles McCaughan, who survives
her. She was the mother of seven children, six of whom are yet living. Mrs.
McCaughan was a woman of a very retiring disposition and of great prudence; her
whole life as a wife and mother was a grand example of the true Christian. She
was no tale-bearer, and a slanderous expression was never heard from her lips.
She loved gospel truth, waited diligently on the ordinances and was a most
affectionate hearer of the gospel message. Towards her last, for many months,
her strength gradually declined, but her confidence in the merits and
faithfulness of her Saviour ever remained firm. At length the last hour came:
it was Sabbath morning at half-past ten o'clock, the hour when public worship
commences in the congregation, it was then that her spirit took its flight to
join in the great congregation of the redeemed above to unite in singing the
grand choral cong: "Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in
his own blood and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father, to
him be glory and dominion forever and forever. Amen." Her remains were
followed to the tomb by a long train of neighbors and members of the
congregation, who in this way testified their respect for the deceased."The inscription on her marker reads, "Wife of Charles McCaughan Aged 67yrs, 4ms, 3d"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the grave of Hugh Robinson.Born: 1763Died: January 28, 1862, IndianaThe inscription on his marker reads, "About 98 yrs".There is a hand with the index finger pointing up carved into the top. This is the symbol showing that they have "gone home".There is no other information on him.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the grave for Jane Robinson.Born: 1820, County Antrim, IrelandDied: August 30, 1902, IndianaShe was married to Matthew Robinson (1803-1872). He is buried near her in Covenanter Cemetery.The inscription on her marker says, "Born in County Antrim Ireland 1820, Died August 30 1902, Aged 82 years, Asleep in Jesus".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now we have the grave of Matthew Robinson, Jane's husband.Born: 1803, County Antrim, IrelandDied: May 27, 1872, IndianaHe was married to Jane Robinson (1820-1902), who is buried near him in Covenanter Cemetery.The inscription reads, "Born in Co. Antrim Ireland, Died May 27, 1872, Aged 69 years".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the grave for John M. Robinson.Born: 1799Died: February 8, 1870The inscription reads, "Aged 80 ys".I am unsure of any of his family. It is possible that he was a child or a younger brother to Hugh Robinson (1763-1862). But I am not positive of this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we have the grave for Alexander Russell.Born: September 14, 1783, County Donegal, IrelandDied: June 22, 1858There is no further information on him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the grave of David M. Smith.Born: May 13, 1771Died: December 29, 1841The inscriptions reads, "Sacred to the memory of David Smith. Who departed this life December 29th 1841. in full faith of a blessed immortality. Aged 70 years, 7 months & 16 days. Blessed ------". The remainder of the stone is buried in the ground and difficult to read. It has been broken and repaired. He was married to Sarah Smith (1780-1861). She is buried at Covenanter Cemetery as well. There a several Smiths buried at this cemetery and it is possible that their children are buried here, but I can find no actual records or proof of that.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the grave of Isabella Smith.Born: November 27, 1815Died: April 7, 1887She was married to John Smith (1821-1872). He is buried at Covenanter Cemetery as well.They had four children:David M.

John Smith

Signed,
sealed, published and declared by the said John Smith as and for his last will
and testament in the presence of us at the request of the said John Smith and
in his presence and in the presence of each other hereunto subscribe our names
and subscribe places of residence as witness:

He was married three times. His first wife was Rachel Scott (1789-?). It is written that when Robert asked for the consent of Rachel's mother, Mrs. Margaret Scott, she could not give it as he was not a member of the church. But Robert persuaded Rachel to elope and they married without her mother's consent (Mrs. Scott was a widow at the time). At supper that night, the Bible and Psalm were given to Robert and he was asked to lead evening devotions to which he cheerfully complied. On returning to his home, the family altar was set up. This altar's fire was kept burning for 60 years, extinguished only by his death.

He and Rachel had five children:

Margaret Fee Tate (?-?) - unknown

Robert Fee Jr. (1785-1852) - buried in Union ARP Church Cemetery, Chester County, South Carolina.

William O. Fee (1786-1876) - unknown

Jane Fee Cherry (?-?) - unknown

Mary Fee (?-?) - unknown

In 1791, Robert, Rachel and their five children migrated to Chester County, South Carolina. They arrived at Charleston on Christmas Day 1791 after a 13 week voyage. They settled west of the Catawba River where many of their faith had established a settlement. Here they stayed for 39 years. I am unsure as to where she was buried.

At some point, he married Nancy Allen Fee (1797-?). There were no children born to this union and I am unsure of where she was buried.

His last wife was Isabel Hayes Fee (1815-?). By the time he married her, all of his children from his first marriage were grown and all but his youngest daughter, Jane Fee Cherry, objected to this marriage. Because of her acceptance to his marriage, the other children reconciled.

The family moved from South Carolina in November 1830 because they did not accept slavery and wanted to get away. They came to Indiana at this time.

Robert died at the age of 91 from a fall where he sustained serious head injuries. His obituary was listed in the Bloomington Post, July 23, 1841:

"ON the 21st inst. at his residence 2 miles east of this place, Mr. Robert Fee, 90 years of age. The deceased removed from the State of South Carolina, to his county some years since, where he has ever since resided enjoying the high estate of all who knew him."

His Last Will and Testaments is as follows, from Will Book, Monroe County, Indiana:

"In the name of God, amen. I, Robert Fee, of the State of
Indiana and County of Monroe, being of sound mind and memory yet knowing the
uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, and that it is a duty I owe
myself and family to set my house in order before my death, do make this my
last will and testament in form and manner following, viz:

First--I bequeath my soul unto the hands of Almighty God
from whom I received it hoping, through the (illegible) of the Redeemer, my
body to be decently laid in the dust, from whence it came, for a joyful
resurrection at the Last Day.

Second--I bequeath to my wife, Isabella, my sorrel mare and
colt, two of my best cows and calves, two of the best beds and furniture, the
corner cupboard and contents, also her living on the plantation (during) her
lifetime.

Third--I bequeath to my son, Robert Fee, one dollar. Third
(sic)--I bequeath to my son, William Fee, one dollar.

Fifth--To my son, Matthew H. Fee, one hundred and seventy
five dollars to be paid in six months after the death of the testator.

Sixth--I bequeath to my son, Joseph D. Fee, the farm on
which I now live containing 80 acres, all the stock of horses, cattle, hogs,
household furniture and farming utensils not mentioned above.

Also, at the death of my wife, I will that the property left
to her be equally divided between my two youngest sons, Matthew and Joseph D.
Fee. I also (illegible) all my lawful debts to be paid before a division of my
property takes place.

I do appoint my sons, William and Joseph D. Fee, my
executors of this my last will and testament. In witness of this being my last
will and testament, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 28th of May 1839.

We visited this cemetery on February 1, 2015. It seems that most of our days at the cemetery are rainy and this day was no exception. History of the cemetery is sketchy as it seems that the records were lost in a fire at some unknown point. The earliest burial with a legible stone is for 1853. In May of 1854, Alex Sutherland sold the land where the cemetery is currently located to George Stipp with the following provision: The entire plot except "one fourth of an acre where my wife was buried". But it does not appear that this cemetery was for a single family when it started but for various townspeople. At some point the cemetery became a Knights of Pythias Cemetery and by 1898 over 250 people were already buried there. Now it is listed as having over 2600 interments. I am not sure what the original name of the cemetery was since it was renamed the Clover Hill Cemetery in 1945. It is possible that it was just called the Harrodsburg Cemetery.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is Catharine A. Carmichael Dodd.Born: August 26, 1840, Monroe County, IndianaDied: December 22, 1888, Monroe County, IndianaHer parents were Peter F. Carmichael (1818-1893) and Lydia Margaret Teague Carmichael (1821-1882). They were married on June 15, 1839 in Monroe County, Indiana. They are both buried at Clover Hill Cemetery. As a note of interest, Lydia Margaret Teague Carmichael is the great grandmother of Hoagland Howard "Hoagy" Carmichael, a famous musician buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana.Catharine was the oldest of 8 children.

Enlisted in the 67th Regiment of the Indiana Volunteers in November of 1862, he served at Vicksburg and the Arkansas Post. But after only 6 months he became disabled and was discharged.

This last grave is very lichen covered and worn, therefore I can not make out who it is for. I believe that when I took the photo, it was because I like the shape of the grave and thought that it was unusual. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If anyone has any information on any of the graves mentioned here, or a photo request, please email me or leave a comment.I hope that you have enjoyed your walk through Clover Hill Cemetery.Please visit the listing at Find-A-Grave.
